Inclusive Leadership Labs

Inclusive Leadership Labs are racial affinity groups that deepen understanding, build skills and create community to support leaders in building inclusive teams and equitable outcomes.

Inclusive Leadership Labs are designed to deepen leaders’ understanding of their own racial conditioning, anti-racism practice and their role in creating inclusive teams. The labs are conducted as racial affinity groups to create a safe space for participants to process their learning and discuss challenges with candor in a facilitated small group of like-minded peers.

Through a structured curriculum, group discussions, development plans and project identification, the labs create an environment of applied learning in a supportive and confidential group setting.

The Inclusive Leadership Lab program is offered to individuals twice per year. To express your interest in participating, please fill out the application form:

This group challenged me, causing me to reflect deeply on how racial identity affects me, my coworkers and the people we serve. It simultaneously created a safe space to speak honestly, to put ourselves in the shoes of others who are different than us, and to challenge ourselves to become more effective champions for equity and inclusion in our roles within the organization. I highly recommend this group experience as an opportunity for real personal and professional growth.
